The Career Development Center —by Hilton Harrell Jr. Are you a student who knows exactly where you'll be heading after college? Or are you a student who knows for certain what field of study you should pursue? Coming Community College has a program just for you. Occupational Information is one of the services the Career Development Center provides CCC students each weekday within the commons. The Career Development Center provides students with opportunities for determining what steps should be taken when pursuing a career. Lee Ann Sever, technical assistant for placement at the Career Development Center said, "Many students feel that they have no PRINCIPLES of SOUND RETIREMENT INVESTING For fast relief from the nagging ache of taxes, we recommend TIAA-CREF SRAs. SRAs are tax-deferred annuities designed to help build additional assets — money that can help make the difference between living and living well after your working years are over. Contributions to your SRAs are deducted from your salary on a pre-tax basis. That lowers your current taxable income, so you start saving on taxes right away. What’s more, any earnings on your SRAs are also tax-deferred until you receive them as income. That can make a big difference in how painful your tax bill is every year. Ensuring the future for those who shape it. As the nation’s largest retirement system, we offer a wide range of allocation choices — from TIAA’s traditional annuity, with its guarantees of principal and interest, to the seven diversified investment accounts of CREF’s variable annuity. What’s more, our expenses are very low, which means more of your money goes toward improving your future financial health. To find out more, call our planning specialists at 1 800 842-2888. We’ll send you a complete SRA information kit, plus a free slide-calculator that shows you how much SRAs can lower your taxes.

The Career Development Center has SIGI-Plus occupational software that students can utilize. This software interprets personal data that students log in which pertain to the students' values, skills, and interests. The computer program links students with varieties of occupations. Students are urged to browse through a number of popular occupational reference books and periodicals found at the center. The Occupational Outlook Handbook contains information about types of employment. It mentions the education required for a position, the work involved, and the average salary one should expect when employed. Job Choice is an annual publication listing employment opportunities for college graduates. Resume expert is a new computerized program that can be used for composing resumes. Many employers will use this database system when selecting their employees. This will be arriving on campus soon. Students are required to be registered with the Career Development Center before taking advantage of the Spring Employer Recruiting Program, Direct Referral Placement Service, or the Job Newsletter Service. Registration is completed by filing your current resume, references, and transcript at the center. Monthly workshops on resume writing and interviewing skills are taught to students by career counselors. Students also have access to various video tapes that emphasize job searching and resume writing skills, according to Lee Ann Sever. Job Link is a self-directed job search program offered at the Career Development Center. This service gives students access to jobs supplied by the New York State Department of Labor and some national jobs. Employer Files are a group of files containing information about businesses in the Chemung, Steuben, and Schuyler area. There are also files on employers in northern regions of Pennsylvania. Occupational information not only provides students with free information about careers, but it provides them with a listing of current full-time and part-time positions. This information is located on a bulletin board in the center. Soon this will be replaced by a jobs newsletter, available to anyone interested in receiving it. The Career Development Center is open Mondays through Thursday, from 8:00am to 4:30pm, Fridays from 8:00am to 4:00pm. All are urged to take advantage of the opportunities at the CD Center. The Crier March 9,1995 Page 3 CAMPUS NEWS Andi’s World —by Andi Sampson As a teenager I feel that I was privy enough to have seen certain people speak in history; Winston Churchill, John F. Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. just to name a few. When I was able to attend the event held by The African American Society, "Without a Vision, People Will Perish," I listened to what Rev. Frank Raines had to say and I felt just as privileged. Not since the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke, have I heard such a powerful speaker. Everyone had a smile on his or her face as their eyes were fixed on Rev. Raines as he captivated the audience with the same fervor and feeling that could only come from the soul within. The Reverend spoke of many interesting things. One of which was a story of Derek Bell. Bell was a law professor at Harvard University who took a stand to let more blacks into the school. Reluctant at first, Harvard had no choice, but to let determination win overall. The reason I found this so interesting was there is an irony to all of this. It's amazing that such intelligent people who attend a prestigious school such as Harvard can be so ignorant at the same time. I was truly moved by Rev. Raines. Rev. Frank Raines lives in the Elmira area with his wife and two daughters and is Pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, Rochester, NY. Anyone reading this should do themselves a favor and go and listen to this man. You would not be disappointed. I must also say in all fairness, everyone who put together and participated in this event gets a gold star. Brace Hogan, master of ceremonies was an excellent choice for the job. He projected natural abilities in standing in front of an audience, as did the many others who spoke, from Nevada Williams, President of The African American Society, to Chris Callas, Vice-President of The Student Association. When I spoke with Anthony Myles, banquet chairperson, he had this to say: "Our roots are on a spiritual level, always will be." If anyone of us is just trying to get through the schooling process, then I think part of the education process would be to open ourselves to more cultures. I am grateful, once again, to be part of history in the making.

Dear Editor: Many students on CCC's campus share my concern with the upcoming elections for Student Association officers. Being a non-traditional student with nearly four semesters (and forty-four years of working life before retirement), I have gained a unique perception of our campus activities. It is this perception that causes me to take the time to write this letter encouraging my fellow students to join me in endorsing the following candidates for office: Carol Kingsley for President; Karlie Hicks for Trustee; and Amy Green for Treasurer. These are critical and contested positions as I understand the situation as of the day of this writing. I encourage CCC students of all diverse backgrounds to join me in supporting these candidates with their vote and by assisting in insuring their election by getting other students to come out and vote for these dedicated candidates. Many of you may know me by sight, but if you do not, I am the little, pudgy, old guy who wears a different ball cap each day. Stop me when you pass me or see me sitting in the Commons and I will be happy to share my reasons for supporting Carol, Karlie, and Amy with you. These people are extremely competent individuals who have proven they have in the past, "Walked the walk" and not merely "Talked the talk!" Vote for sincerity, credibility, and a proven record as shown on their campaign posters. Vote Kingsley, Hicks, and Green!

Not that I necessarily remember going, but since I think that going somewhere in public with your children is pretty much a given, it's safe to say my parents did the same. I see little kids running around K-Mart (not that I shop there or anything) carefree, jumping up and down, singing that damn Mighty Morphin Power Rangers song (is there such a ditty?) all the time! But I digress (shocker, aye?). Children really aren't self-conscious of anyone around them and don't really care if they look like a total dweeb in anyone's eyes. Again, this is an assumption since I have yet had a 5 year old come up to me, ask me why I have been following them diligently down the toy aisle for the past hour, and telling me to knock it off or I'll have a sore knee cap. Just when do we lose this wistfulness, this peace in mankind, this addiction to chocolate? (Okay, so I'm still trying to break myself of chocolate, big deal.) I think it's safe to say blissfulness was abolished once puberty hit. I swear, once Clearasil became a daily necessity, eyes developed in the back of our heads. We cared what everyone thought of us. We just didn’t go down the middle of the school hall singing songs from the New Kids on the Block tape (okay, maybe I did; but just once or twice.) It was heaven if you blended in with those khaki-colored lockers and no one saw that you were singing "Hangin’ Tough" to yourself. It's neat to see that we come full circle when it comes to selfesteem. I don’t really care what people think as I skip down the hall of the Learning Center singing "Buddy Holly" to myself or to anyone who'll listen. I guess it's something we acquire once our subscription to "Boys Life" runs out or maybe although you can’t see out of the eyes in the back, you just get tired of wondering if everyone likes you. I know I have learned there are more important things in life than who the latest socialite is. Besides, I'm more concerned with what is the next verse to that Weezer song as I skip down the hall.
